Elisha Negron Disappointing vehicle purchase and customer service. I am extremely disappointed with my experience purchasing a vehicle from this dealership. What should have been an exciting experi customer service. I am extremely disappointed with my experience purchasing a vehicle from this dealership. What should have been an exciting experience has turned into a frustrating situation involving catastrophic mechanical failure, poor communication, and a lack of accountability. I purchased a used 2016 Shelby GT350, I noticed concerning noises coming from the engine bay. While driving it home, I could hear two different noises. One was much louder than the other and after getting home, within a couple days I finally tracked down the louder of the two noises, which was the low pressure hose going to the air conditioning compressor. However, after turning the A/C off, I could hear the second noise more clearly. It sounded like piston slap, which is common for these cars but after driving it to work a couple days, the noise got louder and louder. This was especially concerning because I traveled approximately 192 miles from my home to Athens to purchase this vehicle. I traded in a manual 5.0 Mustang that was in really good condition that I drove since September 2022 with no issues with the transmission or motor for this very expensive paper weight. I expected a reliable vehicle and clear information about its condition. To make matters worse, the service records were never provided to me, I had to reach out to the service department myself to obtain them because the sales manager has refused to return my phone calls. I have called almost every day requesting to talk to a manager leaving multiple messages, voicemail and have not to this day been contacted back. I should not have to chase down basic service documentation or repeatedly try to contact management after making such a major purchase. After discovering the engine issue, I tried contacting the dealership to get answers and have my concerns addressed. Instead, my calls have gone unanswered. So I had the vehicle looked over and what I thought was piston slap turned out to actually be rod knock which is catastrophic. A customers deserve honesty, transparency, and responsive service. My biggest frustration is not just the mechanical issue; it is the way my concerns have been handled afterward. The lack of communication from management and the difficulty obtaining service records have only made this experience worse. I strongly encourage anyone considering buying a vehicle here to get an independent mechanical inspection, request all service records before purchasing, and get any promises in writing. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this dealership. I have only drove this car since I’ve had it five days, four out of the five days I had to work so it was from work and back home less than 10 miles. I put a total of 282 miles on this car 197 of them was driving it home from the dealership. More

The vehicle I bought had an issue prior to purchase I asked for it to be resolved before the purchase and it was. That was the number one reason that I proceeded with dealing with Don Wood Athens.

They didn't give me a bunch of problems or try to spin me around in circles or manipulate the situation. They took care of the situation promptly and I respect that. I will head their direction on my next purchase. More
I had a great experience with Chase. He wasn't a pushy sales person. He promise to make it happen for me and he kept his promise. He got me in a new vehicle pretty quick, even with a bus He wasn't a pushy sales person. He promise to make it happen for me and he kept his promise. He got me in a new vehicle pretty quick, even with a busy schedule that I have. I would definitely work with him again on another vehicle when my son is ready. Thank you Donwood Ford! More
